A warm welcome back to our readers and a thank you to those of you who wrote to us with feedback. In this issue, Nigel Humphrey highlights the need to establish, maintain and develop treatment compliance for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), especially for adolescents as they approach hurdles and challenges that require increasing levels of autonomy and responsibility (see page 21). All too often, young people’s treatment is reduced to medication management without the regular and therapeutic consultations that can be used to address the very essence of ADHD.
